In some (many/most?) cases they should. Undead still have bodies and minds (maybe not brains, but it ain't called 'brain control')... same with Elder Things.
At the end of the day "A Wizard did it" is still an excuse.

Which is cool and all... but with no advantage giving an immunity to those spells, the beast, well... has no advantage granting immunity to those spells.
Which is how GURPS works. Want immunity to something, take the advantage.

Where does this idea come from?
Sure, I can see some spells being useless (like Hunger, Thirst, Nauseate) on Undead (some Undead)... but Elder Things still gotta eat (unless they have Doesn't Eat/Drink).
But really, if Immunity to Metabolic Hazards comes with Immunity to Body Control, I've a few Characters that are happier...
